Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Riddle Me This

The weekly riddles will commence:

Be aware of the new rules, which may change whenever I feel like it... hurray for creative license.

Rule 1. NO GOOGLING, YOU ALL ARE SMART, YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT LOOKING UP THE ANSWERS.

Rule 2. Riding on someone's coattails are fine, just give the other blogger credit for coming up with the answer first. We all want credit where credit is deserved.

Rule 3. This one is more for me... all answers will be posted Fridays.

GOOD LUCK!!!

A)What runs all around the yard without moving?


B)What is broken when you name it?


C)During a crazy weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun. The paint came in blue, green, yellow and red. Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colors. Brenda used blue paint balls. The person in the green T-shirt used yellow paint balls. James was not wearing a red T-shirt. Diane used green paint balls and wore a blue T-shirt. Simon was the only person who used paint which was the same color as his T-shirt. Can you tell which color paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?


D)After a local art theft, six suspects were being interviewed. Below is a summary of their statements. Police know that exactly four of them told one lie each and all of the other statements are true. From this information can you tell who committed the crime?
